Winter Hawks wrap up second

The Cambridge Winter Hawks clinched at least second place in the Midwestern Conference on the weekend.

Despite three wins – 4-0 over Guelph on Thursday, 1-0 over Brampton on Saturday and 3-2 over Waterloo on Sunday – the Winter Hawks earned second place off the ice.

Prior to Friday’s game, the only team that could overtake Cambridge was Listowel. If they won their remaining games and Cambridge lost their remaining games, the two teams would have been tied with 64 points, but Listowel would take second with one more win.

The Cyclones ended up losing in shootout Friday to Guelph and couldn’t catch Cambridge after that. The Winter Hawks then solidified second with two more weekend wins.

Now, the Winter Hawks sit one point out of first with one game left. Caledonia sits in first place with one game in hand.
